Please query me if you would like to request a book review. In the past, I was a professional book and theatre reviewer for newspapers and magazines, so I follow those journalism standards of not always reviewing every book I receive, as well as giving an honest review, not just an endorsement.
While I do not award stars or any other rating symbols to my reviews here, I also post them on Amazon and Goodreads, where I do use the star rating system. If I cannot like a book well enough to give it at least three stars, I usually pass on doing the review. If I do give a book three stars, it is because I thought the book was good. I will give four stars to a book I find excellent, and five stars to one that is outstanding. I rarely give five stars.
The genres I prefer are mystery, suspense, thriller, women’s fiction, memoir, humor, and mainstream. I rarely review fantasy, paranormal, horror, or sci-fi, as I am not fond of those genres, so I don’t consider myself qualified to review them. I do not read or review erotica.
Please do not leave a comment as your review request. Contact me at maryann (at) maryannwrites.com with your query.
Happy Writing!
